IRAN: A VIEW FROM HERE 2003-2006
By Kamran Ashtary and Tori Egherman
With Iran in the news so often, it’s easy to forget that behind the political intrigue there lies a vast country in which people do their best to live normal lives. Iran: A View from Here is unusual in that it presents the ordinary, yet diverse aspects of Iran that visitors rarely see and which escape professional photographers who are too busy snapping mountains, deserts and funky Tehrani girls walking past traditional chador-clad women. Ashtary and Egherman have been living in Iran for three years and this book is the result of those years, in which they worked, visited families, took part in rituals of life and death and walked in the mountains outside Tehran. They bring a unique perspective to a complicated country and accompany their photographs with some moving essays depicting the strong emotions evoked by life in Iran.
